a black background with the words since stand your ground passed in florida ALT: a black background with the words since stand your ground passed in florida

We need a Stand Your Ground law for women. Women who are abused by their partners, e.g., or fear being abused, should be legally entitled to preemptively kill their partner, just as if he were a Black man walking in a white neighborhood. And just think of the gun sales!

Interestingly this piece seems to have touched a chord. Just got an email from a Canadian who basically says the United States has become irredeemable in her eyes, and not just because of the deranged attacks on Canada; also Trump's corruption and US wars abroad. It's hard to disagree with her.

A serious president would not go golfing at a time like this. A serious president would not announce a military attack on social media. #FuckTrump #ITMFA

Is Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s super-duper secure SCIF with soft banquet-hall curtains, open air top, unsecured electronic devices, and roving guests located next to the bathroom where the classified documents are stored?

Dear Liberals,

No, you don’t ever, ever have to forgive or forget what Trump voters have done. They can beg forgiveness and never get it and that’s ok. These people brought you mass β€˜detention centers’ and government agents murdering citizens in the streets. Not ok.

They can burn in hell.

β€œMassive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Don’t deprioritize curiosity-driven research Around the world, governments are demanding that research funding follow broader political priorities. They should be careful what they wish for.

They want to cut suicide prevention among veterans even as they drag us into another war.
